Elder Brimhall is doing great. He has repented and is writing better letters
to us!! We love to hear from him. He has moved from Conway and his new area is
Simpsonville. He says it’s pretty
awesome and feels honored to be there.
He was made district leader and is making huge goals for him and his new
companion. They are both really motivated and Elder Brimhall loves it!! In one week they got 19 new
investigators. His words were… It’s
insane but awesome. Thank you so much for your prayer! We need them to baptize and I know prayer
really does work.
From another letter….I have been biking like 40 miles a
day. It has been cool the last few days
because of the rain, but it has been like 85-90 and with the humidity it's
unbelievable.
This week was a little slow, but I still had an awesome time
because I love being a missionary!
Something cool I have been thinking about was that the Lord
is pleased or favors those who endure with a good heart through
afflictions. I was reading 1 Nephi 1:1 and
I really liked when Nephi says: he has seen many afflictions in all his days, nevertheless
he was highly favored of the Lord.
Elder Brimhall tells a funny story about his last Companion
Elder Chapman, (I hope Elder Chapman doesn’t get mad at me for sharing this)…Elder
Chapman is deathly scared of bugs. Seriously deathly scared and almost killed
me because of it!
So we were driving
home at the end of the night going about 45 mph and Elder Chapman heard a
buzzing sound so he did the only logical thing he could do. He slammed on the brakes and let go of the
steering wheel, swinging his arms trying to knock the bug away. He really freaked me out. We managed to make it home and when we did
Chapman ran inside.
I was making fun of him the whole time. But wait, when I was getting ready to shower
I picked up my towel and heard the “Buzzing”.
I dropped my towel and ran leaving the “MONSTER” in the room with Elder
Chapman. We found out it was like a bee
the size of a walnut.
Elder Brimhall and Elder Chapman having some fun...
